The fan shroud had to come off with my fan. Not enough room to do it otherwise.
I used a large adjustable wrench and a #3 crowsfoot (to wedge under the pulley. Pretty easy to get off after that. The crowsfoot does not need a lot of pressure to hold the pulley. You just need some type of resistance.
Hope this helps.

I used a big ol pipe wrench for the nut and a big C clamp to hold the pully to break her free, and then after that she just spins off. I also had to pull my shroud along with the fan.
Just a note the hub nut has right hand threads you will need to turn the nut CC to remove.
